A Democrat lawmaker from Arizona was caught on video swiping Bibles from a state House lounge, after which she apparently hid them.

Say what?

KTVK-TV reported that the security team at the Arizona Capitol placed a camera in the House’s members-only lounge to get to the bottom of how Bibles were vanishing.

Sure enough, they weren't just disappearing into the ether. Resulting video shows Democrat state Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton pilfering two Bibles in just minutes, KTVK said.

The act didn't sit well with Republican Speaker Pro Tempore Travis Grantham, the station said.

“When I’m watching that, I’m thinking, ‘Well, this is obviously someone who’s got some purpose and some intent, and they know they’re doing something bad,'” Grantham told KTVK.

They once were lost, then were found

The House’s security team found one Bible "buried in the members-only lounge furniture," the station said. And the other? Believe it or not, KTVK said Good Book #2 was located in the "community refrigerator."

It gets even better — or worse?

Turns out Stahl Hamilton is an ordained minister, KTVK said — which would seem to push this badly executed caper into even wackier territory.

“Just a little playful commentary on the separation of church and state," Stahl Hamilton finally said in a statement, the station added. "I am a Presbyterian minister so I obviously don’t have a problem with the Bible."

I see no mention of the theft being reported to the police. That’s the usual response for Pubbies in situations like this. They’re cowards...too afraid to use the law to punish Democrats.

Not the sort of behavior you’d expect from a minister that’s for sure.

That was the end of Grogan... the man who killed my father, raped and murdered my sister, burned my ranch, shot my dog, and stole my Bible! But if there was one law of the west: Bastards had brothers, who seemed to ride forever.

I have no idea what the Pope does. It seems like a good way to lose forgotten eggs.

It is, but that's why the Vatican never discusses it.

“I am a Presbyterian minister so I obviously don’t have a problem with the Bible.”

Bet she has a problem with certain parts of the Bible, like the verse that says: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

Yep. They are a Satanic cult masquerading as a church.

The Bible says “don’t hide your light under a bushel”, but I didn’t read anything about hiding stuff under cushions.

What can be said about this demonic behavior other than that she and her Party are on a mission to do the work of Satan? Satan’s getting bolder every day.

Early Christians found their most dangerous adversaries in the orgiastic sects devoted to the godesses Cybele, Demeter, Diana, etc. Earlier, Isaiah 57:5 warned that men “...incline to a religion that inflames their unholy passions. They are led to do any evil, however great or vile, if they think it will atone for crimes, or purchase indulgence...
